Life is a collaboration, it's not a solo act.
I'm not sure what the moral is here...I really just wanted to tell that story.
I'm one of the biggest introverts you could ever meet.
There’s one thing I will not do, ever: I will never talk to you about things you cannot change. It plants a negativity in the head of a designer or the student, and it’s a distraction.
I do things like hem a pair of pants, I do my own tailoring but I wouldn't attempt a jacket.
I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.
I have a couple of thousand books in my personal library. Choosing a favorite is next to impossible. But I do love the written word.
I learned quickly that if the student’s perception is that you’re not listening to them, and not understanding them, they discredit you.
I love Modern Family but it's among a handful of favorite shows.
A couple of things for the not-so-diminutive man: avoid any prints that are large scale, because you will look like the print is wearing you, as opposed to you wearing the print.
My favorite meal to make for myself is meatloaf.I prepare the the ground beef (I don't use anything else) and flatten it out so it's about 1/2 inch thick, then I spread shredded cheddar all over it, then I roll it up. It's amazing. Like a big cheeseburger.
The fit of jeans can be worlds apart from brand to brand. If you can find the right fit, skinny jeans can be very flattering.
Models come in all sizes and shapes.
Life is a big collaboration. And we can't navigate it alone.
